Question

Evan, a sales representative at a jewelry store, receives a 1.50% commission for the first $16,000 in sales she makes, 4.00% for the next $25,000, and 5.00% thereafter. If she was paid $2,250.00 in commissions last month, calculate the amount of sales she made. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

$61,200.00

Step-by-step explanation:

1.5% = 0.015 , 4% = 0.04 , 5% = 0.05

16,000 × 0.015 = $240.00

$25,000 × 0.04 = $1,000.00

$2,250.00 - ($240.00 + $1,000.00) = $1,010.00

$1,010.00 ÷ 0.05 = $20,200.00

$20,200.00 + $25,000.00 + $16,000.00 = $61,200.00
